Hon, you're stepping outside your comfort zone. I know it's hard and scary, but it is crucial if you are to move forward. You know you are better off without him. He is violent and no one deserves to have to live with that.
I remember something they told us in IOP about stepping out of our comfort zone. In a car, there is a reason why the rear-view mirror is small and the windshield is large. It's because where we have been isn't as important as where we are going. That has always stuck with me and I believe it to be true.
